Savala Island Day Cruise - Oolala Cruises
Sail to the peaceful island haven that is Savala on a boutique cruise experience away from the crowds. Enjoy lunch, complimentary drinks, watersports, wildlife and a glass bottom boat ride on this memorable trip brought to you by Oolala Cruises.
Avoid the early crowds and start your adventure the easy way with a relaxed 10:00 am departure from Denarau Marina aboard our charming vessel, the M.V. Oolooloo. Cruise smoothly over calm, clear waters as our friendly crew shares fun facts about the nearby islands and Fijian culture. Sip on coffee or tea and enjoy delicious homemade pastries as you take in the stunning views.
After a scenic 60 minute cruise, you’ll arrive at Savala Island—a peaceful, private paradise with soft white sands, clear turquoise waters, and shady spots to unwind. This boutique island experience is limited to smaller groups, so you get more space, more peace, and more personal attention.
Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, there’s something for everyone. Snorkel in vibrant coral reefs, paddle a kayak or stand-up board, explore the marine life in a glass-bottom boat, or simply stretch out in the shade with a cool drink. Kids and adults alike will love the warm, interactive staff and fun island activities, including fish feeding, coconut demos, and Fijian handicrafts.
A tasty BBQ buffet lunch is served with live music in the island’s main bure, followed by more time to play or relax. You can even treat yourself to a soothing massage (extra cost) before heading back.
As we cruise home, enjoy afternoon tea with more fresh cake and a final round of refreshments. By the time we return to Denarau at 4:30 pm, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear with unforgettable memories of your day in paradise.
Everything’s included. Just bring your towel, sunscreen, and sense of adventure!

Amazing day cruise
We spent an unbelievable day with Oolala Cruises, with a smaller group, which made the expreience eben more pleasant. The Savala Island is so beautiful and picturesque. We couldn't believe that we actually were able to see this little paradise. The crew was wonderful, so kind as well. We learnt lots of new information about Fiji and about coconuts! We were also a able to see so beautiful fish during snorkelling. They were playing on the guitar and singing along the journey, which was so lovely. And the BBQ lunch was so delicious and generous. Overall highly reccomended. Great experience 😊

such a great experience to travel to such a small island and there was so much to see and do especially bird life and sea creatures. Highly recommend this trip

Excellent day trip
From the time you are welcomed onboard (with song) to the time you are farewelled (with song) you realise you are in for authentic Fijian hospitality. The 90 minute boat ride to the island passes quickly and once you arrive you can go snorkelling, sun bathe, sea kayak, paddle board or ride in the glass bottom boat. Lunch is a basic but delicious buffet with plenty of food for even the most ravenous appetite. If there is a birthday or anniversary expect to celebrate with your new “family” with song and sincere best wishes. Recommend to all ages although those with physical mobility issues will be challenged when transferring from the catamaran to the tender and again from tender to stones beach. Would do it again in a heartbeat & recommend to families. NB FJ$15 fuel surcharge per person payable before departure

Beautiful little slice of paradise
Highly recommended! It felt exclusive since the island isn't too big. Incredibly great staff, great food, drinks and activities. Had an amazing time as a solo traveler.
